Jack is a fine example of the all-around American high-school boy.
He has the sturdy qualities boys admire, and his fondness for
clean, honest sport of all kinds will strike a chord of sympathy
among athletic youths.
"No story will appeal more strongly to the wide-awake young chaps
blossoming into manhood than 'Captain Jack Lorimer.' No reader of the
story, from ten to sixteen years of age, will follow his course through
these pages without absorbing some of the buoyancy and good nature which
Jack displays. He is a clean, wholesome young fellow, an honest,
energetic boy who loves sport of all kinds, and who is square in all his
dealings."--_Boston Herald._
_The Roses of Saint Elizabeth_. BY JANE SCOTT WOODRUFF, author of "The
Little Christmas Shoe."
Small quarto, cloth decorative, illustrated and decorated in color
by Adelaide Everhart $1.00
This is a charming little story of a child whose father was
caretaker of the great castle of the Wartburg, where Saint
Elizabeth once had her home, with a fairy-tale interwoven, in which
the roses and the ivy in the castle yard tell to the child and her
playmate quaint old legends of the saint and the castle.
_Gabriel and the Hour Book_. By EVALEEN STEIN.
Small quarto, cloth decorative, illustrated and decorated in colors
by Adelaide Everhart $1.00
Gabriel was a loving, patient, little French lad who assisted the
monks in the long ago days, when all the books were written and
illuminated by hand, in the monasteries. It is a dear little story,
and will appeal to every child who is fortunate enough to read it.
_The Enchanted Automobile_. Translated from the French by MARY J.
SAFFORD.
Small quarto, cloth decorative, illustrated and decorated in colors
by Edna M. Sawyer $1.00
The enchanted automobile was sent by the fairy godmother of a lazy,
discontented little prince and princess to take them to fairyland,
where they might visit their old story-book favorites.
Here they find that Sleeping Beauty has become a famously busy
queen; Princess Charming keeps a jewelry shop; where she sells the
jewels that drop from her lips; Hop-o'-My-Thumb is a farmer, too
busy even to see the children, and Little Red Riding Hood has
trained the wolf into a trick animal, who performs in the city
squares.
They learn the lesson that happy people are the busy people, and
they return home cured of their discontent and laziness.
